Bridge repairs and road construction will challenge motorists this spring at County Road 42 and Interstate 35W in Burnsville. The westbound lanes of the County Road 42 bridge will be closed from April 17, when work begins, to May 22. The eastbound lanes will be closed from May 22 to June 21. Detours will cause some congestion on local streets, said John Sass, project manager for the

Dakota County Transportation Department. The bridge carries more than 50,000 vehicle trips a day on the county’s principal east-west roadway. “The first three days will be ugly,� Sass said. “But then people will figure out the route that they prefer, and they’ll generally stick to it.� The $2.3 million project was originally scheduled for last summer. But officials decided to hold off because the busy summer schedules of the few contractors that do bridge deck overlays would have pushed up costs, Sass said. The project was bid for this spring instead, when contractors won’t be as
busy. The project includes new concrete mill and overlay on the 28-year-old deck, which officials say has been deteriorated by deicing salts. Replacing the deck now will add about 30 years of bridge life, Sass said. Without a new overlay, the bridge would have to be replaced in 15 to 20 years, he said. Bridge joints and sidewalks will also be repaired. The project includes a 500-foot extension of the eastbound County Road left-turn lane motorists use to access northbound I-35W.

A lone oak tree in the parking lot of Berean Baptist Church marks the spot where the first chapel house, a one-story rambler, was built in 1963. It eventually became the church’s youth house and in 2000 was removed and paved over for parking. “That was sad,� recalled Kay Larson, managing director of church operations, who began attending the Burnsville church in 1992. “It was a very emotional day.�
Wistfulness is understandable for longtime members of a church founded by 13 people, some of whom mortgaged their houses to buy farmland for a church home at what is now 309 County Road 42 E. But 10 building projects later, Berean is in a position many other churches might envy. A drop in the Christian share of the U.S. population has been driven mainly by losses in the mainline Catholic and Protestant faiths, the Pew Research Center reported in 2015. Evangelical Protestants, including Baptists, held their own from 2007 to 2014, falling only slightly as a share of the population. See CHURCH, 15A
Communication is a key part of the human experience. Expressing oneself through speech is a skill that will last a lifetime and one many Eagan High School students have excelled at for decades. From 1989 to 2016, the Eagan speech team has earned 278 state medals, 60 individual state championships and 14 national championships. It’s earned a National School of Excellence Award every year since 1999. Last year the Eagan Speech Team won its first team state title. Joni Anker, head speech coach with the Eagan High School English department, was recently named one of five finalists for the inaugural Educator of the Year award by the National Speech and Debate Association, which will be announced March 3 on National Speech and Debate Education Day.

She’s quick to give credit to the other coaches at the high school and the work of her students. The Eagan speech team is midway through its season, hoping for another good showing at state and nationals. So far it’s won three competitions and finished second three times. Members of the team also fared well at competitions in Massachusetts, Chicago and California. They’re busy nearly every weekend during winter. “It’s an interesting way to spend a Saturday,� student Paul Filonowich said. “We get up early and put on a suit and talk to walls for eight hours. It’s an awesome opportunity. Not everyone understands it. You get to create this 10-minute speech. It’s a performance. ... One of the top fears out there is public speaking, but we do it for fun.� Awards are a nice recognition, but Anker feels like a winner every time she watches a quiet freshman blossom into an expressive and thoughtful senior.

BHS Quiz Bowl team heads to state Burnsville High School secured its second South Suburban Conference Quiz Bowl Championship Feb. 23. The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quiz Bowl A Team competed against Apple Valley, Eagan, Eastview, Prior Lake, Rosemount and Shakopee. The A team went 6-0, narrowly defeating second-place Eagan A for its second straight undefeated title. Next on the schedule for the South Divisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-seeded Burnsville A Team was the Minnesota High School Quiz Bowl League Championship. The top 16 schools in the state faced off in that competition March 2 at Burnsville High School. The A Team is composed of seniors Blake Andert and Connor Van Dorpe and juniors Nick Schatz and Matthew Fischer. All four were within the top eight individual scorers of the upper division, with Andert
medaling at second overall. In addition to the varsity team, Burnsville hosted 18 junior varsity teams that vied for the crown in the lower tier of the tournament. Burnsville B, C and D Teams all went 5-0 to finish in a three-way tie for the JV title â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Burnsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth straight undefeated JV title. Connor Hume was the top overall scorer in the lower division and Justin Jasperse came in fourth. Overall, Burnsville had 13 of the top 25 individual scorers in the undercard. Coach Les Moffitt said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;unbelievably proudâ&#x20AC;? of his teams this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going into a tournament with 25 teams and leaving with four undefeated teams, both championships and numerous exceptional individual scoring performances, is more than we could have asked to accomplish,â&#x20AC;? he said.
For three straight years, the Quiz Bowl team has qualified to compete at the national high school Quiz Bowl championship tournament. The team is poised to send two teams to participate in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament over Memorial Day weekend in Atlanta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team finished a school-best 53rd overall in the nation,â&#x20AC;? said Moffitt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have improved each year we have attended the national championship, so I look forward to seeing this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams try to better our record.â&#x20AC;? Quiz Bowl involves teams of up to four students answering challenging general knowledge questions as quickly as they can in competition with other high school students during a season that lasts from October through May.
Candidate for governor to be in Eagan On Saturday, March 11, Minnesota State Auditor Rebecca Otto will be at Lakeside Pointe Apartments community room in Eagan from 1:30-3 p.m. as part of her statewide listening tour in Eagan. Otto has announced she is running for governor in 2018. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My campaign is going to look a little bit different,â&#x20AC;? Otto said in making her campaign announcement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a lot of talk lately and not enough listening and truly understanding votersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns throughout the state.â&#x20AC;? Otto said rather than just telling people what she thinks, she wants to hear peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopes and dreams for Minnesota, and what they would like
to see changed. Several listening sessions have already been held across the state, including Rochester, Redwood Falls, Duluth, Bemidji, and the Twin Cities, as well as sessions via Facebook Live and phone. Otto is a winner of the National Award for Excellence in Accountability, was elected president of the National State Auditors Association, and has been named one of the 15 most influential Government Auditors in America.

Grand jury indicts Farmington man convicted for hitman in death of and-run death of Lakeville soldier woman, unborn baby Sentencing is May 10 kota County, scrambled to his mo- with being under the influence of A Dakota County grand jury indicted Vern Jason Mouelle, 23, of Brooklyn Park, with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder after meeting from Feb. 2224. Mouelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charges in the deaths of Senicha Marie Lessman, 25, of Eagan, and her unborn child, were upgraded to allege premeditated murder and murder with intent to kill. Both first-degree murder sentences carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. The second-degree murder charges carry a maximum sentence of 40 years imprisonment for both. His bail remains at $2 million without conditions and $1.5 million with conditions. Lessmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother found her daughter unresponsive at around 3 p.m. Jan. 24 in Eagan. Eagan police and paramedics attempted to revive Lessman and saw what appeared to be a knife wound around her neck. Attempts to revive Lessman were unsuccessful and she was pronounced dead at the scene. She was 32 weeks pregnant. Her unborn child died as the result of her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injuries.
An autopsy by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner revealed Lessman died of a knife wound or obstruction of her airway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These charges reflect allegations that this was a premeditated and intentional domestic-related homicide which tragically claimed the life of Senicha Lessman and her unborn child,â&#x20AC;? Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said in a release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our deep sympathy is extended to the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and friends.â&#x20AC;? A neighbor described a vehicle parked in the driveway earlier that day that matched the description of one registered to Mouelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father. Mouelle was identified as the unborn childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father. Officers located Mouelle and the vehicle at his place of employment. Officers found a receipt for a pocketknife inside the vehicle along with other empty packaging for the knife, and Lessmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cellphone and bloody clothing, according to the criminal complaint. Backstrom thanked the Eagan Police Department and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension for their investigation and the Brooklyn Park and Mounds View police for assistance.

After a week of testimony and more than 17 hours of deliberations over three days, a Scott County jury on Feb. 24 convicted Matthew Keely Hartley, 34, of Farmington, on three counts of criminal vehicular homicide in the Sept. 25 hit-and-run crash that killed Mollie Mahowald, 24, of Lakeville. Mollieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Pete Mahowald, said the family was happy with the verdict and grateful to jurors for their time and careful review of the evidence, which included Hartleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s testimony and that of 22 witnesses for the prosecution. During deliberations, the sixman, six-woman jury twice briefly convened in the courtroom to review a short video clip of Hartley and friend Joshua Plan revving their motorcycles before quickly driving east from the Elko New Market bar Captain Blackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s around 2:20 a.m. Sept. 25. The video shows some of the spectators gathered as music plays and Hartley and Plan rev their motorcycles. Some in the crowd shouted profane-laced comments about their safety on the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t (expletive) die!â&#x20AC;? one yelled. Not recorded was what happened seconds later, when Hartley struck pedestrian Mahowald, an Army specialist and Iraq War veteran. Witnesses testified after the crash Hartley, who was on probation for a 2012 DWI charge in Da-
torcycle and hastily left the scene as Mahowald lay dying in the street and many people were screaming at Hartley to stop. Court documents say the impact of the crash vaulted Mahowald about 20-30 feet. Elko New Market officers racing to the scene to assist Mahowald reported Hartley passing them at a high rate of speed. Hartley testified he did not see the police and he was traveling about 30 mph. Jurors also reviewed a 911 audio of a distraught man reporting he had witnessed a motorcyclist hit a female pedestrian â&#x20AC;&#x153;head-onâ&#x20AC;? and take off. Hartley, of Farmington, testified he saw a girl in front of him but did not know he struck her until police tracked him down the next day. Hartley told the jury he hid his dirty, damaged motorcycle first alongside a road, then under a canoe at his residence, covering a protruding handlebar with a garbage can lid to keep it from the rain. Hartley denied drinking any alcohol before the incident, said he did not know police were searching for him and testified he was taking a walk when they came to his residence that afternoon with a search warrant. After police located and arrested Hartley about 14 hours after the crash, he received medical treatment for an injured ankle. Hartley was convicted of all charges except one count of criminal vehicular homicide associated
alcohol. Scott County Attorney Mike Budka said outside the courtroom after the verdict was read, the family was emotional, hugging each other and wiping tears. Pete Mahowald said several jurors also hugged family members and expressed sympathy for their loss. Budka said Hartley is expected to be sentenced to the statutory maximum of 15 years in prison. He said he was pleased with the verdict and noted the diligence of the police in gathering witnesses and evidence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a difficult case in the fact that Mr. Hartley fled the scene,â&#x20AC;? Budka said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Law enforcement did a really good job in tracking him down and getting me everything that I needed to make this presentation to the jury.â&#x20AC;? Hartley has an extensive criminal record. Court documents show he has been convicted of and/or pleaded guilty to more than 50 charges, many felonies, in dozens of criminal cases including domestic abuse, burglary, terrorist threats, obscene or harassing phone calls, financial transaction fraud, theft, DWI and driving after suspension. Sentencing is scheduled for May 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad this is over for the family,â&#x20AC;? Budka said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long time coming.â&#x20AC;?

Pipeline meeting Eagan High School graduateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book aims to empower young girls is March 6 The Burnsville Parks and Natural Resources Commission will host an informational meeting on a proposed Xcel Energy gas pipeline project Monday, March 6, beginning at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, 100 Civic Center Parkway. Xcel is proposing to construct a new gas pipeline to serve the Black Dog Power Plant in Burnsville. The pipeline is part of the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conversion from coal to gas power generation. The pipeline is not proposed to be placed on any private property. To keep it as far from private property as possible, the city and Xcel have determined that the most feasible option with the least impact is to place it in the Highway 13 right of way and use an existing easement through Tennisioux and Black Dog parks. The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission approved a routing permit for the project on Feb. 23. Xcel staff will be available at 5:30 p.m. March
6 to meet with the public and answer questions. At 6:30 p.m., as part of the Parks and Natural Resources Commission meeting, city staff will provide an update on required city approval for the project. Xcel will give an informational presentation to the commission and be available for questions. In conjunction with the project, the city is evaluating the feasibility of a future trail connecting Highway 13 to Black Dog Park via Tennisioux Park. Future trail planning will include public involvement. If you have questions or concerns or are unable to attend the meeting and would like to comment, contact Burnsville Public Works Director Steve Albrecht at 952-895-4544 or at steve.albrecht@burnsvillemn.gov. The meeting will be shown live on Burnsville Community Television Channel 16 CTV or HD 859 (cable subscribers) and online at www.burnsville.tv/live.
Eagan High School graduate Josh Mozingo and Storysuits have launched their first book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Monkey Do Goodâ&#x20AC;? on Kickstarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Monkey Do Goodâ&#x20AC;? is a story about an independent girl who has a heart of gold. The story takes place deep within a jungle where a young girl wakes up to animals in need of a hero. The matching Storysuit is worn by the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young female protagonist. Two years ago, Mozingo, Storysuits founder and author, began work on the book after reading a study led by Janice McCabe. It revealed there is a 2-to-1 ratio for male to female characters in childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books. This inspired the writing of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Monkey Do Good.â&#x20AC;? The goal of the story is to empower preschool-aged girls with a strong independent female protagonist. The book is being paired a wearable Storysuit in an effort to encourage the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imagination and love for reading without the use of electronics. The book and its Storysuits have been tested with children at a licensed home childcare provider. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The suits were amazing and they loved the book,â&#x20AC;? said center owner, Lisa Mozingo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even after hours of wearing them, it was still
a struggle to convince them they needed to turn back into a person and take off their suits. Their imaginations soared and they were saving all of their stuffed animal friends from danger.â&#x20AC;? Lisa Mozingo said the center would like to permanently add the suits to one of their learning centers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wrote Monkey Do Good as a way to empower my daughter,â&#x20AC;? Josh Mozingo said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I hope that it can be used as a tool for other parents.â&#x20AC;? Currently, the only place to reserve a book and matching Story-

suit is through a Kickstarter campaign. Storysuits has been featured on Kickstarter as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Project We Love.â&#x20AC;? Backers can choose to support the project with a variety of reward tiers including: product donations, discounted products, retail packages and original art. The campaign goal is to reach $30,000 by March 20. For updates on the Kickstarter campaign, news and information, follow Storysuits on Facebook, Instagram or visit www.storysuits. com.

Opinion University, Kaler can’t afford a third strike For the University of Minnesota, there is much work to be done to regain the trust of students, parents and the state at large. It can start with a recalibration of the U’s moral compass. Ten Gopher football players were identified and investigated, along with a juvenile recruit, following sexual assault allegations. Four of the players have been expelled and two suspended upon recommendations by the University of Minnesota’s Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action. Minnesotans are all investors in the University, whether by writing tuition checks or having our tax dollars subsidize the institution. That is why we deserve a clear plan on how the school will repair trust in the institution and hold student-athletes to a higher standard going forward. In September, a woman alleged that multiple players pressured her to have sex and she was too intoxicated to give consent. This put the U of M under the microscope for the last six months, revealing disgusting behavior and absent accountability. The controversy peaked in December when remaining members of the team announced a boycott of the Holiday Bowl, a move supported by some coaching staff, including Head Coach Tracy Claeys. After a copy of a lengthy report following the University’s investigation
ECM Editorial was leaked to news outlet KSTP, the players ended the boycott. Claeys was fired a week after the bowl game. While the Minneapolis Police Department investigated and Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman twice reviewed the case, no criminal charges were filed. Still, the damning 80-page report from the University made it clear that the players involved did not live up to the school’s code of conduct for student athletes. Freeman called their behavior “deplorable.” Although the University’s core functions are education and research, we cannot dismiss the power of athletics and how they lend to the U’s brand. The University’s high-profile sports teams are the most familiar faces to the public and their closest connection to the maroon and gold. Of late, there have been some poor ambassadors on the football fields, basketball courts, wrestling mats -- and in the school’s top administration. This comes on the heels of a scandal involving one of the school’s top administrators, former Athletic Director Norwood Teague, who resigned after it was revealed he sexually harassed women he worked with. This was the first strike against Uni-
versity President Eric Kaler, who then brought in Mark Coyle to lead the athletic department and turn things around. We are entitled to expect him to get it right. In September, Coyle fired longtime wrestling coach J Robinson following an investigation into players’ use and sale of Xanax, a prescription sedative. Among the many failures in lack of oversight by the University, it is unacceptable for a juvenile recruit to be turned loose without responsible supervision. We expect changes in protocol to be made. At a public speaking engagement in Oakdale early this year, Coyle admitted the last seven months had been the toughest of his life. “The last five weeks have rocked me,” he said. Coyle emphasized that accountability needs to be shown by student athletes, adding that the word has lost its meaning. “It should be a privilege for athletes to put on that M jersey,” Coyle said. We agree, and point out that a privilege is distinctly different from a right. Just because a student is not charged with a crime does not mean there shouldn’t be significant repercussions. Coyle said he is responsible for developing and enforcing the student athlete code of conduct. The University is well within bounds to bench, or turf, athletes who do not live
up to the school’s standards. We need to see the rules enforced, along with recruitment of student-athletes who are of the quality in talent and character that will make that the school, and the state, proud. Now that a coaching change is in place with the hiring of P.J. Fleck, it’s time for the University to present a comprehensive plan on how it will hold its student-athletes and staff accountable going forward. Sadly, all of these incidents take the spotlight away from deserving students and athletes who are working hard to achieve degrees in the classroom and success in highly competitive athletics. This is the second major incident on President Kaler’s watch. Clearly, it’s time for a major culture change. Despite some raising concerns about their involvement, the University’s Board of Regents must play an important role in the turnaround. Kaler, and the Regents, are ultimately responsible for making sure the University of Minnesota is a safe place for all students to learn, and where women are respected. There will be no excuse for a third strike. This is an opinion of the ECM Editorial Board. Sun Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune are part of ECM Publishers Inc.
Courage and compassion overcome cowardice by Joe Nathan SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
When they said “no,” I knew it was not a drill. The “no” came in response to my request the morning of Feb. 21 to quickly grab my sweatshirt, hanging in a locker at the St. Paul Jewish Community Center. About 20 of us had been exercising there. Suddenly, JCC staff told all of us we needed to leave the building – “Now!” As we walked out, we were accompanied by little children. Some walked. Some were wheeled out in baby buggies or cribs. It was quite a crew on the sidewalk, from infants to people I’d say were well over 70. The JCC staff smiled and explained we were going to visit the firefighters. We walked half a block to St. Paul Fire Station 19. The firefighters warmly welcomed all of us – the children, the seniors, the JCC staff. They moved one of their trucks to provide room and put down mats on the concrete floor for the
Sun Thisweek Columnist
Joe Nathan children to sit on. Then two of them, Martha Fecht and Todd Hanson, began giving the youngsters a demonstration of what firefighters wear when they go to a fire. The children were fascinated. After the demonstration, firefighters brought out a video player and arranged for the youngsters to watch a movie. Firefighters also gave the youngsters a snack. Everything was calm and positive. After about an hour, I left, as I had an appointment. Walking back toward my car, I saw seven or eight police cars around the JCC. One policeman explained that he was sorry but I would not be able to go into the JCC for that sweatshirt.
Later that day, newspapers reported that there had been a bomb threat at the JCC. Some individual or group of cowards had called it in. Apparently, this has happened throughout the country. The Council on American-Islamic Relations announced a $5,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who threatened to bomb the JCC’s. “It is the duty of American Muslims to offer support to the Jewish community and any minority group targeted in the recent spike in hate crimes nationwide,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad in a press release, found at http://bit.ly/2mck8iO. Steve Hunegs, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas, told me by phone there has been “a wonderful reservoir of support” from community members for Jewish people. Political leaders, including St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman and President Donald Trump, had condemned anti-Semitism. These statements are welcome. But
what most impressed me was the calm courage of the JCC staff and the compassion of the St. Paul firefighters. Richard Ritter, a St. Paul firefighter and paramedic, told me that the firehouse is a “safe haven” for anyone in need. My hope and prayer is not just the firehouse but America can continue to be a “safe haven.” We can’t and won’t solve all the world’s problems. But creative collaborations, like those between the JCC and St. Paul Fire, help. And with the kind of courage and compassion I saw displayed, we will challenge, reduce and someday, overcome prejudice, cowardice and hatred. Joe Nathan, formerly a Minnesota public school teacher, administrator and PTA president, is director of the Center for School Change. Reactions are welcome at joe@centerforschoolchange.org.

Letters Don’t mind the weather? To the editor: Recently, I’ve been engrossed in reading about ecological systems, and I learned that spring ephemeral plants — plants that begin and complete their entire growth and reproduction cycles before the time that canopy trees “leaf out” — such as wild onions, are vital in nutrient retention for forest communities. This is so because spring snow-melt and rain events wash over the previous year’s decomposing leaf litter, washing away vital plant nutrients into streams and rivers before the ecological community is awake enough to absorb and recycle these nutrients back into living matter (potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, etc.). Spring ephemerals put a plug in this springtime drain, and to significant effect. Plants such as ramps have adapted to take advantage of both the abundant sunlight and readily available nutrients of early spring,
and by doing so they actually help out the entire ecological community by preventing the leaching and encouraging the recycling of community’s hard-won nutrients (nutrients accumulated over thousands of years; mined by plant roots from the bedrock, and/or collected from the atmosphere by plant’s leaves). As I was walking through the woods of Lebanon Hills Regional Park last week, I excitedly looked on the ground for tender green evidence of these spring ephemeral plants. We found none; mid-February is simply too early for our shortlived friends to wake up from their lengthy slumber. What we did find was many a puddle and rivulet, en route, carrying particles of sand and mud to lower ground. The question we’re left with: what will happen to this ecosystem? Will there be a net loss of nutrients? Will the spring ephemerals quickly adapt and wake
up mid-February next year? If they do, will their exposed bodies be killed during a March cold-spell before they finish their cycle? We can’t be sure. How can our human communities adapt to changing and unstable conditions, like the spring ephemeral must if it is to survive and thrive? In the obscure face of climate change, what are the building blocks that we need for the assembly of a resilient, just, inclusive and healthy future? RYAN FRANKE Eagan

tax credits based on age. There are huge problems with these ideas. Currently, health insurance is regulated on a state by state basis in accordance with the 1945 McCarran Ferguson Act. Thus, if a California health plan wants to compete in Minnesota, it will be subject to Minnesota’s health insurance requirements. For Lewis’ interstate plan to work, it would require federal oversight. And permitting coverage to continue when a person moves to another state is useless when the medical network offered by the plan in Minnesota does not exist when the person moves to California.
Lewis’ plan permits individuals to choose the coverages they want. The purpose of insurance is to spread the financial risk of health issues across the population covered by the plan. Without mandatory minimum coverages, spreading the risk is not achieved which results in adverse selection, higher costs, and market instability. Paying for health care with tax credits based on age isn’t a better plan. Middle-aged people already have higher health care costs so returning to age rating means even higher premiums. Besides, a tax credit does not help anyone who can’t afford to pay the premiums in the
first place. And it certainly does not help those who file no tax return. Finally, Lewis does not address eliminating lifetime caps, combining insurance pools to spread costs, block grants for Medicaid or negotiating Medicare drug prices. Mr. Lewis should follow through on his promise to hold a town hall. He could learn a lot by listening to his constituents on health care as well as many other issues that Congress is debating now. He can’t represent us if he refuses to listen to us. DEE RICHARDS Eagan

Lakeville South student reprimanded for racist graffiti Outrage expressed on social media, School Board meeting
by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A Lakeville South High School special needs student of color is being disciplined for scrawling racist, anti-Semitic graffiti on a student bathroom stall and door. One of two statements regarding the incident released by the Lakeville Area School District on Monday, Feb. 27 said that day a staff member reported someone had written â&#x20AC;&#x153;offensive words and images on bathroom stallsâ&#x20AC;? that were also described in an earlier statement as â&#x20AC;&#x153;racist, anti-Semitic graffiti.â&#x20AC;? School maintenance staff began work to repair the damage, and the district said Lakeville South â&#x20AC;&#x153;will use the situation as a teachable moment where possible.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take these matters seriously and strive to create a safe, welcoming environment for all students in our schools,â&#x20AC;? the statement said. The graffiti included black marker drawings of swastikas, and images and words disparaging to African-Americans. District 194 Superintendent Lisa Snyder read a statement about the incident at the Feb. 28 School Board meeting, calling it â&#x20AC;&#x153;extremely unfortunate.â&#x20AC;? She said it â&#x20AC;&#x153;certainly does not reflect the values of our community or Lakeville South High School.â&#x20AC;? Snyder said the district views this as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very teachable momentâ&#x20AC;? for students, staff and the community. She said Lakeville South created a plan to facilitate conversations regarding diversity with students and staff, many led and co-facilitated by student leaders. Cultural liaisons, deans and student support staff were made available at the school March 1 to talk with students who wished to discuss the issues in small groups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lakeville South High School is committed to ensure that all students feel welcome and safe in school,â&#x20AC;? Snyder said. She said the Minnesota Department of Education and other state officials were working with the district regarding the â&#x20AC;&#x153;very unfortunate incident and making sure we are responding in a very responsible manner for our community

and for our students.â&#x20AC;? Several citizens spoke out about the incident and cited concerns about racism in Lakeville public schools at the Feb. 28 School Board meeting. African-American Lakeville South students Audrey Aouga and Mariam Hosein and their AVID coach Amy Solinger shared concerns of how minorities are treated in the schools. Solinger said Century Middle School students were disciplined for chanting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Build that wall,â&#x20AC;? referring to the border security wall between the United States and Mexico, in school the day after the presidential election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that was enough,â&#x20AC;? Solinger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It needs to be clear to all families and students that this behavior will not be tolerated.â&#x20AC;? She quoted an email from one of her students that stated Lakeville South students have been called racial slurs at school and discriminated against by being told to go back home and students yelling â&#x20AC;&#x153;build a wallâ&#x20AC;? at them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can try and wash away the words that were written in these bathrooms today, but you cannot erase the racism and discrimination thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in this world,â&#x20AC;? Solinger said, quoting the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s email. Solinger said that while the student involved in the incident deserves understanding, she urged full recognition of racism and urged the district to listen to the minority students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re scared,â&#x20AC;? Solinger
said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel welcome and it breaks my heart.â&#x20AC;? Self-described human rights activist Mel Reeves, Minneapolis, urged district officials to call an assembly and announce that racial slurs, racism and derogatory statements based on a group of people will not be tolerated, then design a â&#x20AC;&#x153;severe punishmentâ&#x20AC;? that everyone knows about to ensure the behaviors stop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People respond to that,â&#x20AC;? Reeves said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;when they see that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re serious.â&#x20AC;? He urged discussion on tolerance and called the situation an opportunity the district can take on and address. Luis Alvarez, a 2011 Lakeville South graduate, said he dealt with racism since moving to Lakeville when he was in eighth grade. He said he and his family endured many racial slurs and if he tried to stand up for himself and other minorities, other students would reprimand him. Alvarez said the district should not treat the incident as a hate crime even though the student being disciplined for committing the act is of color with diminished mental capabilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hate crimes should not be tolerated in any way, shape or form regardless of who you are,â&#x20AC;? Alvarez said. He said his home was vandalized because of his ethnicity and the words people said to him lingers for years after they are uttered. Alvarez said the district

The event is March 8 6-8:30 p.m. at Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main offices, 200 W. Burnsville Parkway in Burnsville, and is being held to gain input on equity and integration efforts. It was organized after more than 40 superintendents formed an ad hoc committee last fall to address equity and integration in education through an initiative dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reimagine Minnesota.â&#x20AC;? The districts are joining to design a new model of education to help all students succeed, noting Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changing demographic composition. Anyone is invited to attend and can register at http://bit.ly/ WorldCafeMN. District 194 School Board Chair Michelle Volk said she was glad people came forward and shared their stories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people brought up some really good points,â&#x20AC;? Volk said. After public comment ended, District 194 Executive Director of Teaching and Learning Emily McDonald met with many of the speakers outside the meeting to connect with all who shared concerns. A man standing nearby the group told them, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so glad youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in our schools,â&#x20AC;? and thanked them for speaking up.

Local residents help strike out brain tumors Military Appreciation Eight years ago, Nancy Swerdling Dinner is March 16 heard the words that no one should have to hear. That was when her doctor told her: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have a brain tumor.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin to tell you what I thought at that time because my mind went totally blank with fear and disbelief,â&#x20AC;? Swerdling said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With an infant at home this was not something that a healthy 29-year-old woman should hear.â&#x20AC;? Shortly after receiving this news, the Lakeville resident had surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going into surgery, I was told that the life that I knew was over and I would come out of surgery with severe, permanent deficits,â&#x20AC;? Swerdling said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was one of the lucky ones, I survived the surgery and within hours of being returned to my room, I was amazing my neurosurgical team with motor skill capabilities that should have been literally impossible given the amount of brain tissue that had been removed.â&#x20AC;? After extensive physical therapy and support during the early months of recovery, Swerdling is well-functioning and leads an active life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I live knowing the horror of being diagnosed with a brain tumor and with the fear of regrowth,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that I am blessed, and that many others do not find the same successful results from their brain

She said she wants to use her good fortune to help support the local brain tumor community as they fight the terrible condition. Swerdling, her friends and family have organized Bowling for Brains â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a fun, family friendly event that raises awareness and funds for brain tumor research and patient services. The group organized the event â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which will be held 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Sunday, April 23, at Brunswick Zone in Lakeville â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with the idea that people of all ages and abilities can bowl. Bowling for Brains also offers a silent auction, raffles, food, prizes, costume contest and more. The event has grown to have an official committee, which includes
those who have been affected by a brain tumor in some way. The volunteer planning committee includes Lakeville residents Stacy and Chad Zwerdling of Lakeville, Amy Boettchers, Jenn Diadoo and Steve Diadoo, Jeanne Gauger, and Jill Olson, along with Donna Schnerk, and Meredith Voltin. The goal of the event is to bring those who have been affected by brain tumors together and make the average person feel as though they are contributing to the awareness of brain tumors and the work of the American Brain Tumor Association.

District 196 graduation rates increase and gaps decrease for students of color The overall graduation rate for students in Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District 196 high schools increased from 90 to 92 percent from 2015 to 2016 and the gap in graduation rates between white and non-white students decreased for all but one subgroup of students, according to data released by the Minnesota Department of Education Feb. 23. Of the 2,058 District 196 seniors included in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016 graduation data, 1,890 or 92 percent graduated, defined by the state as completing high school in four years. Of the students who did not graduate, 6 percent were continuing school and 2 percent had dropped out. The statewide graduation rate in 2016 was 82 percent, the same as 2015. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal by 2020 is for school districts to have a graduation rate of at least 90 percent for all students and at least 85 percent for each subgroup of students. In 2016, District 196 met the state goal for all students and four of the eight subgroups, including Asian/Pacific Islander, white, black and Hispanic students. In District 196, the graduation rates for: â&#x20AC;˘ American Indian/Alaskan Native students decreased from 80 percent in 2015 to 71 percent in 2016 (statewide 53 percent); â&#x20AC;˘ Asian/Pacific Islander students increased from 90 to 95 percent (statewide 84 percent); â&#x20AC;˘ Black students increased from 78 to 85 percent (statewide 65 percent); â&#x20AC;˘ Hispanic students increased from 72 to 86 percent (statewide 65 percent); â&#x20AC;˘ White students remained at 93 percent (statewide 87 percent); â&#x20AC;˘ Students receiving English Learner services increased from 72 to 81 percent (statewide 63 percent); â&#x20AC;˘ Students receiving special education services increased from 62 to 72 percent (statewide 61 percent), and â&#x20AC;˘ Students receiving free or reducedprice school meals increased from 75 to 83 percent (statewide 68 percent). The graduation gap for American Indian/Alaskan Native students in District 196 increased from 13 percent in 2015 to 22 percent in 2016 and the graduation rate of Asian/Pacific Islander students exceeded white students by 2 percent. The graduation gap between white students and all other subgroups of students in District 196 decreased last year: â&#x20AC;˘ For black students, from 15 to 8 per-
cent; â&#x20AC;˘ For Hispanic students, from 21 to 7 percent; â&#x20AC;˘ For students receiving English Learner services, from 21 to 12 percent; â&#x20AC;˘ For students receiving special education services, from 31 to 21 percent, and â&#x20AC;˘ For students receiving free or reduced-price school meals, from 18 to 10 percent. After seeing graduation rates dip slightly from 2013 to 2015, early last school year Superintendent Jane K. Berenz asked the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school administrators what they needed to be more intentional in identifying and supporting seniors who were at risk of not graduating on time, the district said in a press release. The district provided the high schools with some additional funding to support their efforts, which included credit recovery courses during and after school and in some cases on Saturdays, and one-onone tutoring and work completion support. Teachers were also encouraged to give grades of â&#x20AC;&#x153;incompleteâ&#x20AC;? instead of Fs to give more time to students who were close to completing the required coursework. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The focused and intentional efforts of our caring administrators and teachers paid off for many of these students who otherwise might not have graduated on time or at all,â&#x20AC;? Berenz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are proud of the increases achieved last year among all groups of students and are continuing our targeted efforts this year with seniors and juniors who are at not on track to graduate in four years.â&#x20AC;? Apple Valley High School has been providing an hour of support weekly for a group of 25 seniors who were at risk of not graduating when the school year began. By the time third trimester begins in mid-March, school leaders hope to have most, if not all of them on track to graduate this spring. The graduation rate of male students in District 196 increased from 87 percent in 2015 to 89 percent in 2016, compared to 79 percent statewide, while the graduation rate of female students in District 196 increased from 93 to 95 percent, compared to 85 percent statewide. The overall graduation rates for each of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four, four-year high schools in 2016 were as follows: Apple Valley High, 93 percent; Eagan High, 96 percent; Eastview High, 97 percent, and Rosemount High, 92 percent. 2 : 4" 0 ¨ÜAÂ&#x2DC;b en¡nÂŁeAQÂ&#x2DC;nb 2Ă?ĂŚĂ&#x201C;Ă?ô¨Ă?Ă?Â&#x152;Ăśb Ă&#x201C;¨Ă&#x152;Ă&#x201C; Ă?Â&#x152;n e¨Â&#x192;t

The NDP program was established in 1984 to recognize elementary and middle level principals who set high standards for instruction, student achievement, character, and climate for the students, families, and staffs in their learning communities. The program is designed to recognize the outstanding leadership of active principals. All nominated principals were reviewed by a statewide selection committee, including: MESPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12 division presidents; Brad Gustafson, 2016 National Distinguished Principal; and selection committee chair, Tim Bell. On May 5, Carlson and the other two finalists will be interviewed and the selection committee will determine the 2017 Minnesota National Distinguished Principal. In addition to Carlson, the finalists for the honor are Jessica Cabeen, principal of Woodson Kindergarten Center in Austin Public Schools, and Nancy Antoine, principal of Bridgewater Elementary in Northfield Public Schools.

Food truck dispute brewing in Lakeville City Council to consider food trucks
by Laura Adelmann SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
A food truck disagreement is brewing between neighboring business owners in downtown Lakeville. Lakeville City Council members are considering options for food trucks to occasionally operate in areas throughout Lakeville after Angry Inch Brewing owners Josh Hebzynski and Jon Erickson requested city ordinances change to allow them to invite food trucks to sell outside their brewery some weekends yearround. Erickson said at the Feb. 28 City Council work session hosting an occasional food truck would attract more people downtown and benefit all surrounding retailers. He said they would seek out a variety of food trucks that offer different meal options than what is available at neighboring restaurants. Marty Richie, owner of Heavy Metal Grill Restaurant and the food truck of the same name, is opposed to the proposal. Richie said a food truck will negatively affect his brick-and-mortar business, located next to Angry Inch Brewing in the same building on Holyoke Avenue. He told Sun Thisweek a food truck is cheaper to operate and the owners have no stake in the community, do not pay property taxes and do not have multiple employees to consider. Erickson said they had a food truck outside their business on 208th Street on Feb. 2 and his patrons enjoyed British meat pies not offered at surrounding restaurants. He said if the city permits food trucks, they would continue to seek trucks offering different fare than is now available. He said allowing the trucks would bring more business to downtown Lakeville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Food trucks themselves tend to have pretty good followings of people who will follow them from city to city,â&#x20AC;? Erickson said. Richie said the night Angry Inch had a food truck parked by his business, his restaurant was not called for a single food delivery to Angry Inch Brewing, when they typically deliver 15 to 20 times per night. He said the lost business affects him and his employees, including servers who usually make tips by delivering food next door. Erickson said they are not trying to take business away from any of their retail neighbors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just looking for flexibility to have them down on the weekends,â&#x20AC;? Erickson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
want to have something there every single day.â&#x20AC;? At the meeting, Lakeville Community Development Director Dave Olson said the city does not currently have an ordinance that addresses food trucks, although downtown is littered with those types of temporary businesses during events like Pan-O-Prog, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-week summer festival. Erickson presented several letters from patrons in favor of the idea. Lakeville resident and Angry Inch patron Andy Zetzman said food trucks will provide more choice for consumers, calling them â&#x20AC;&#x153;a staple at local breweries ever since the craft beer boom began.â&#x20AC;? Aaron Shand wrote he and his wife live south of the cities but work in Minneapolis where â&#x20AC;&#x153;there are more than enough food trucks AND restaurants.â&#x20AC;? He said they spend money on both options based on what sounds good to them depending on what they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the moodâ&#x20AC;? for eating. Don Seiler, co-owner of Lakeville Brewing Co., which is located adjacent to Angry Inch Brewing and also serves food, spoke in favor of the proposal on behalf of himself and the other owners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encourage the city to find a way to come (up) with the regulation and means to allow that to happen,â&#x20AC;? he said. Seiler said they want to see downtown Lakeville thrive and believes more variety available to consumers will draw crowds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done any basic marketing knows, particularly in food and entertainment, the more choices, options and variety you provide a single destination, the more likely people will choose to go there,â&#x20AC;? Seiler said. He added they do not feel any threat to their business and estimated there is about $7.5 million spent outside Lakeville on food and entertainment that could be spent inside the city. Seiler said their business had no negative impact on the night there was a food truck parked adjacent to their business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a lot of positive buzz,â&#x20AC;? Seiler said. He noted there was also an uptick in social medial presence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We noticed a publicity bump for us,â&#x20AC;? Seiler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing. It think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for all downtown Lakeville.â&#x20AC;? Richie was unable to attend the meeting, so his girlfriend Lisa Caulfield read and explained Richieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter outlining his concerns. Caulfield said food trucks are a great mar-

Heavy Metal Grill owner Marty Richie said his Feb. 23 Facebook posting of his food truck in front of Lakeville City Council Member Brian Wheelerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant was intended to highlight his point against the city allowing food trucks to sell near brickand-mortar restaurants as Jon Erickson and Josh Hebzynski, the owners of Angry Inch Brewing, have requested. The businesses are located next to each other in the same building. Neighboring Lakeville Brewing Co. owners, who also serve food with their beer, have stated support for proposal. riage with breweries, just not when they are located next to brick-and-mortar restaurants. Caulfield said they take their food truck to breweries where there are not other food options, calling it â&#x20AC;&#x153;common respectâ&#x20AC;? to avoid parking a food truck in front of established restaurants. Richie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who said starting a food truck cost him about $60,000 while the building was a $250,000 investment and about 70-80 hours a week of his time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; amplified the point in a Feb. 23 Facebook post. Richie posted of picture of his food truck parked in front of City Council Member Brian
Wheelerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant, Baldyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BBQ, and facetiously announcing he was going to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;slinging philliesâ&#x20AC;? in front of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Naaa just kidding!â&#x20AC;? the post said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do something like that.â&#x20AC;? Caulfield asked council members to consider how a coffee shop business owner would feel if a coffee truck parked in front of it, or an ice cream truck parked in front of Dairy Delite or if a beer truck parked outside Angry Inch and sold beer for $2 each. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All these examples sound pretty silly,â&#x20AC;? Caulfield said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it is our reality. We need to respect each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s businesses.â&#x20AC;?
established restaurants without the cost of owning and operating a brickand-mortar business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have invested lots of money into their restaurant,â&#x20AC;? Wheeler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lots of time, lots of hours and employ more than two people. They employ lots of people and (they are) competing against that.â&#x20AC;? Council Member Luke Hellier said food trucks could help â&#x20AC;&#x153;creative vibrancyâ&#x20AC;? downtown and draw new and different people there. He said he also wants to be sensitive to brickand-mortar businesses and consider how trucks would affect residential neighborhoods. Council Member Bart Davis said if an ordinance is created, they need to be mindful of constituents and ensure it is applied uniformly across the city without favoring one business over another. Council Member Colleen Labeau said she sees both sides, but also expressed concern for the established business owner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As someone who owns a business and knows what kind of taxes you pay, and the what kind of expenses you pay for brick-and-mortar, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough one,â&#x20AC;? she said, Mayor Doug Anderson asked staff to provide the council an array of options that could include a parameters of where and when food trucks could be allowed to operate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way we could get into this and not open it up the whole way, because I do hear the concerns,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said.
Caulfield said cities are taking steps to protect brick-and-mortar businesses across the country, including instituting limitations to the length of time and location food trucks may operate. She said if food trucks are allowed to park outside of a brick-and-mortar restaurant, they will end up closing, the trucks will move on and downtown will be left with empty retail space and vacancy signs in the windows.

Eagan swimmers going after another state meet trophy Class AA meet is this week at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
After smashing two records at the Section 1AA boys swimming and diving meet, Lakeville North sophomore Andrew Trepanier looks to add to his medal collection at the state meet this weekend at the University of Minnesota. Trepanier had winning times of 20.81 seconds in the 50-yard freestyle and 49.16 in the 100 butterfly at the Section 1AA finals Saturday in Rochester. Both were section records, and the butterfly time earns automatic AllAmerica status. Trepanier now holds three records in Section 1AA, including the 100 freestyle mark he set last year (he did not defend his championship in that event this year, opting instead to swim the butterfly). Trepanier, who also swam on two state-qualifying Lakeville North relays, finished second in the 50 and 100 freestyle races at state last year. This year heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the No. 2 seed in the 50 freestyle behind defending champion Jordan Greenberg of Eden Prairie. Trepanier is the top seed in the butterfly, with defending champion Joshua Withers of Eden Prairie at No. 3. Eastview senior Sam Pekarek is seeded second in the 100 breaststroke, an event where he finished second at state last year.
That could set up another duel with Minnetonka senior Corey Lau, who is the No. 1 seed and defending champion. Eaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quenton Steffen is seeded fourth in the breaststroke. Eagan also is seeded fourth in the 200 freestyle relay. The Wildcats, who won the Section 3AA team championship, are seeking their third podium finish at state as a team after taking the 2015 Class AA championship and placing third last year. Minnetonka has the top seed in six of the 12 events and appears to be the favorite for the Class AA team championship. Class AA diving preliminaries will be 6 p.m. Thursday at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. Swimming preliminaries are 6 p.m. Friday, with swimming and diving finals at 6 p.m. Saturday. Following is a list of state qualifiers from Section 3AA and Section 2AA meets:

Steveson, Delich go into state tourney undefeated Class 3A individual wrestling starts Friday by Mike Shaughnessy SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Apple Valley junior Gable Steveson and Eastview senior Mike Delich are among six wrestlers taking undefeated records into this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state tournament at Xcel Energy Center. Steveson, who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost a high school match since his eighth-grade season, is heavily favored to win the Class 3A state championship at 285 pounds. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also ranked first nationally at that weight. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the two-time reigning Minnesota high school and Cadet World champion at 220 Steveson (35-0) pinned all three of his opponents in the Class 3A, Section 2 individual tournament last weekend in Shakopee. He was on the mat a total of 1 minute, 48 seconds in those three matches. Another top state contender at 285 is Willmarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brady Reigstad, who was second at state at that weight last year. Delich, who was fourth at state last year, returns for another crack at the 195-pound title in what likely will be his final weekend as a wrestler. He has signed with the University of Minnesota football program as a preferred walk-on. He received a bye in the first round of the Section 2 tournament, earned a 5-2 decision over Rosemountâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ezayah Oropeza in the semifinals and pinned Shakopeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Abe Ngaima in the championship match. Moorhead senior Samuel Grove, state runner-up at 195 last season, also is in the tournament. Brandon Moen of Owatonna, who won the 195-pound title in 2016, will wrestle at 182 at state this year. The Section 2 tournament featured four of the top 11 teams in the state Class 3A rankings, including top-ranked Apple Valley and No. 2 Shakopee. Eleven Apple Valley wrestlers got out of the Section 2 individual tourney and into state. Three â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Steveson, Kyle Rathman (138) and Jalen Thul (170) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were section champions. Eight more Eagle wrestlers were section runners-up, including five who won matches for true second. St. Michael-Albertville matched Apple Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number of individual state qualifiers with 11. Hastings sent nine to state
through Section 3, the same section where Eagan advanced four wrestlers. The Class 3A individual tournament has eight wrestlers who were state champions in 2016. Also qualifying for state were Lakeville North senior Wade Sullivan, a top-three finisher at state the last three years, and Eastview senior Alex Lindstrom, his schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career victories leader. Xavier Rosenbloom of Eagan won his weight class in the Section 3 tourney. Tenth-ranked Eagan sent four individuals to state through the Class 3A, Section 3 tournament. Farmington qualified three wrestlers through Class 3A, Section 1. Lakeville South senior Brady Bastyr advanced to state for the third year in a row and is one of three Cougars who were runners-up in the Section 1 tourney. Apple Valley is the No. 1 seed in the state Class 3A team competition that takes place Thursday at Xcel Energy Center. The Eagles (19-2) face unseeded Minnetonka in the quarterfinals at 9 a.m. The championship match is scheduled for 7 p.m. Anoka, St. Michael-Albertville, Owatonna and Hastings are the other seeded teams in Class 3A.

CITY OF BURNSVILLE NOTICE OF PARKS AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION (PNRC) INFORMATIONAL MEETING ON THE XCEL ENERGY GAS PIPELINE PROJECT Notice is hereby given that an informational presentation on a proposed pipeline will be made to the PNRC on Monday, March 6, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Burnsville City Hall, 100 Civic Center Parkway. Xcel is proposing to construct a new gas pipeline to serve the Black Dog Power Plant. This pipeline is needed as part of the conversion from coal to gas power generation. The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission is in the process of approving the pipeline. The City has had input on the location and determined the most feasible option that meets Xcel’s needs and minimizes impacts to private property is to utilize the Trunk Highway 13 right-of-way and the existing Xcel overhead powerline easement through Tennisioux and Black Dog Parks. The gas pipeline is not proposed to be placed on private property and the City has been working with Xcel to locate the pipeline as far from private property as possible. There will be an opportunity to make comments and ask questions as part of the presentation. Prior to the PNRC meeting, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Xcel staff will be available outside the Council Chambers to answer any questions you may have about the project. PNRC Meetings are broadcast live on BCTV channel 16 and online. In conjunction with this project the City is evaluating the feasibility of a future trail connecting TH 13 to Black Dog Park via Tennisioux Park. Future trail planning will include public involvement as part of any project development. If you have questions or concerns, or are unable to attend this meeting, please contact me at 952895-4544, or at steve.albrecht@ burnsvillemn.gov.

Achievement, integration strategies described District 196 aims to bring more perspectives in curriculum by Tad Johnson SUN THISWEEK DAKOTA COUNTY TRIBUNE
Achievement and Integration strategies are being assessed in the RosemountApple Valley-Eagan School District through test scores, graduation rates and other data. For Integration & Educational Equity Coordinator Carita Green, one important measure often doesn’t show up in statistics. It’s found in the stories of each student. It’s reflected in the three graduates who emailed her a photo of them meeting together as University of Minnesota students still using the AVID support model for students in the academic middle. It’s found in another graduate who was ready to drop an AP psychology class in high school but persevered after working with Green and the teacher to overcome her stumbling block. As a college student, she told Green she was excelling in psychology. It’s seen in the way a student who became blind after a medical issue had the support of a multicultural family advocate, teachers and family to continue to advance in elementary school. With a population of more than 28,000 students, the district has stories like these developing each day through programs advanced by state AI funds, which totaled $4.3 million this academic year based on various racial and econom-
ic demographic data. (See related story from Feb. 17.) Though AI funding comprises about 1 percent of the district’s total annual budget, it aims to have a big impact on student success. This followup story will look as some of the specific strategies of AI funding and how they are attempting to reduce the achievement gap between white and minority students and the test score disparity between students who receive free and reduced price lunch and those who do not. A future story will look at an analysis of test score data.
In the classroom While more than 50 percent of AI funding supports transportation and programs at the district’s magnet schools, which has led to a greater racial balance in the schools, other continuing efforts include curriculum development, staffing for 10 multicultural family advocates and a 2017-18 plan to have Equity Partner stipends for staff at each school. In recent years, district staff have undergone cultural proficiency training, which aims to help teachers encourage student participation by empowering them to share their diverse perspectives. “Cultural proficiency helps you understand why you are doing those tips,” Green said. “It is learning not from the outside in, but from the inside out.” Past training efforts have helped teachers learn specific ways to integrate different cultures into the curriculum (i.e. tips), but cultural proficiency helps change a mindset, according to Green In recent years, for ex-
ample, teachers have included a wider range of literary works into an English curriculum, and cultural proficiency helps teachers recognize cultural aspects in the works to bring into the discussion. Green says when students see themselves in the curriculum they can learn more about their own heritage and that of others. “When you value diversity, it not only benefits students of color but it benefits everyone,” Green said. “It makes for a more interesting end product.” Research has shown that a curriculum that includes more cultural perspectives results in students who participate more in class, earn better grades and score higher on standardized tests. Teachers have to create a safe place in the classroom where participation is encouraged and supported in order for students to find value in their own work and progress. She used the “community” classroom unit of study in elementary schools as an example. Since the early grades keep the same group of students together throughout the school day, the classroom “community” structure is an important building block for success in academics, according to Green. Green said teachers show the young students that: “This is our community. This is how we work together. Differences actually help to bring that out.” She said students should feel “whole and valued” so they can succeed. “You have to dig in deep,” Green said. “You
have to get know each individual in the classroom.” While teachers were already making these connections with each student, Green said that cultural proficiency helps teachers see the class from each student’s perspective. The district will be tracking test scores and other data to see what impact the changes will have. “It is going to take time,” Green said. “It is different from what we have learned in the past.” Equity Partners To build off the district’s use of 10 multicultural family advocates, who have worked in the district’s 35 schools in recent years helping diverse students and their parents navigate school operations, any challenges and academic hurdles, Equity Partners will start their work in the 201718 school year. Equity Partners is modeled after a program in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District that allows a current staff member a 0.2 full-time equivalent stipend to serve as an equity resource for staff and teachers. The staff member will endeavor to ensure there is a consistent application curriculum changes based on the AI strategy. They also will serve as a resource in addressing topics of concern in classrooms, Green said. As the district surveyed teachers through the AI program update, many were saying that they were having difficulty addressing uncomfortable situations based on diversity when they surfaced in the classroom, according to Green. That’s when the Equity
Partners idea surfaced. “We want to help them understand how to communicate with students in an appropriate way,” Green said. Green said the Equity Partners will have a positive influence in the schools since they will be a current staff member who is there throughout the school day, along with already understanding the school’s culture and its staff and students. Another way in which they are going to help out is encouraging diverse students to get involved in students groups and cocurriculars with an academic focus. A September 2016 review reported that a Texas A&M study called Project Achieve found “there is a definite effect of participation on important outcomes like reading and math achievement, course grades, sense of belonging to school and academic self-concept.” The district aims to capitalize on such outcomes. The district’s multicultural family advocates communicate with parents of diverse backgrounds on a regular basis. The district, in which there are 100 different languages spoken, will use AI funds to endeavor to improve its communication with Spanish- and Somali-speaking families in two elementary schools. A pilot project for 201718 will make all print and online communications available in Spanish and Somali at Oak Ridge and Echo Park elementary schools. Oak Ridge School of Leadership, Environmental and Health Sciences is located in Eagan, and Echo Park School of Leadership, Engineering and Technol-

ogy is in Burnsville. Communication with parents in the early years is an effort to get them involved in their child’s learning, which the district aims to improve upon in the 2017-18 AI program. Improved communication in the elementary schools aims to lead to more parent participation in homework, school projects and volunteerism. Green said there are many strategies teachers have used to improve homework success and parent engagement. Some teachers have flipped their classroom and allow students to do their “homework” in class and send information home that supplements the learning through reading assignments. She said increasing number of retired District 196 teachers are volunteering in schools after classes are done for the day to help students with homework. In Rosemount Middle School, students can stay after school to get homework help with the reward of having time to play in the gym after their work is done. Brad Shafer, assistant administrator and athletic director at the school, said the program has been very successful. AI funding has been consistent in the past three years. District 196’s funding was $4.03 million in 201516, $4.3 million in 2016-17, $4.5 million for 2017-18. Contact Tad Johnson at tad. johnson@ecm-inc.com or at twitter.com/editorTJ.

SUN THISWEEK - Burnsville - Eagan March 3, 2017 15A
CHURCH, from 1A Berean, meanwhile, reports that its worship attendance has grown by 30 percent since 2014, and member giving by 24 percent. The church has expanded its worship space to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;simulcastâ&#x20AC;? location in rented space at Kenwood Trail Middle School in Lakeville. Now Berean is planning a 30,000 square-foot expansion on churchowned land in Burnsville. The projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centerpiece is a 1,046-seat worship auditorium west of the current church building, across Plymouth Avenue. The City Council approved the expansion Feb. 21, capping months of neighborhood controversy over what some nearby residents called an imposing â&#x20AC;&#x153;megachurchâ&#x20AC;? project. The approved plans include generous screening and traffic-control measures to guide churchgoers away from the adjacent Interlachen Woods neighborhood. Bereanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lasting appeal, said elder board Vice Chair Craig Eiter, lies chiefly in a foundational belief in biblical literalism thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no different now than it was in 1963, even as the church has made giant leaps in worship style,

And I think the complexity can cause pain and it makes life hard to understand sometimes. And at the root at what we believe the Bible says is, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There is hope,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the hope is in the person of Jesus, who died for our sins.â&#x20AC;?
The churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unabated growth, Eiter said, is also the byproduct of an unusually committed congregation and a history of charismatic head pastors. The last three are the Rev. Jerry Sheveland, 1981 to 1991, who went on to lead the Baptist General Conference; the Rev. Roger Thompson, 1991 to 2014, who remains on staff; and the Rev. Wes Feltner, who came to Berean in January 2014 from a church in De-
catur, Ill. To his credit, Thompson volunteered to step aside to make way for a new head pastor and a new chapter for the church, Eiter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty driven and passionate and very much concerned about leadership. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not big on status quo,â&#x20AC;? said Feltner, 38. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And so it just seemed like a beautiful fit for how God had wired me and what the church was looking for, in
Dakota County has hosted two meetings on the project with area businesses, and the Burnsville Chamber of Commerce held one in November, chamber President Jennifer Harmening said. Now the chamber is gearing up with email blasts and website postings about the project, she said. The city of Burnsville has relaxed its temporary sign regulations to allow businesses to guide motorists to their doors, Harmening said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be short, but pain-
ful,â&#x20AC;? she said. The county will discuss the project with Burnsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police and fire departments and other ambulance services that travel to nearby Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hospital isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so impacted with the westbound closure, but with the eastbound closure, there will be directional signing to the hospital,â&#x20AC;? Sass said. Roads that will carry detoured traffic include Burnhaven Drive, Aldrich Avenue, Nicollet Avenue, Buck Hill Road
and Southcross Drive and 150th Street West, according to the county. The bridge is owned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation, whose share of the project is about $1.5 million, Sass said. The county will pay $413,000 and the city $338,000, he said. Project information is at www.co.dakota.mn.us/ Transportation/PlannedConstruction/CR42I35WBurnsville.
BRIDGE, from 1A hicles coming from the Burnsville Center area causes backups of eastbound through traffic, particularly in the lane next to the turn lanes. The backups often extend into the Aldrich Avenue intersection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to get that left-turning movement out of the through traffic in that area,â&#x20AC;? Sass said. The project also includes reconstruction of the traffic signal at Buck Hill Road and the southbound I-35W ramp.
an area, the Twin Cities, that we felt would give us a great opportunity to reach people that a more rural setting would not.â&#x20AC;? Berean has resisted the advice of post-modern â&#x20AC;&#x153;church expertsâ&#x20AC;? who say the way to reach people today is by â&#x20AC;&#x153;softening your convictions,â&#x20AC;? Feltner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And so, where many mainline churches have said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soften it to reach people,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to hold to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true, but we need to make sure â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 1st Corinthians 13 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that we do this in love, that we do it in a kind way,â&#x20AC;? said Feltner, of Elko. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because I think the other extreme is truth that just bashes people over the head and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet them where they are. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to hold that uncompromised middle ground, which is that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still going to be truthful, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be very gracious and kind â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our desire â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in how we have that conversation.â&#x20AC;? Also, modernity matters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very intentional about our social media, Facebook, Twitter, the whole gamut,â&#x20AC;? said Feltner, who leads a staff of 40. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have people dedicated to that. We have
what you would even call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rebranded.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve updated everything (such as) logos and things like that.â&#x20AC;? Bereanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average weekend worship attendance is 2,400 people, including 300 at the Lakeville campus, said Larson, of Farmington. With the addition, the church could accommodate up to 4,500 per weekend, Eiter said, between its current sanctuary, a gym space used for worship simulcasts, the new auditorium and the Lakeville site. Church leaders didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set attendance goals, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our primary purpose is we have no room and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing,â&#x20AC;? Feltner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At some point you have to say we simply canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep adding services and adding services without expanding our facility.â&#x20AC;? The church had already retired its old debt when members voted to approve $18 million in new debt in February 2016, Larson said. Leaders expect to spend $11 million to $13 million on the addition. Future remote locations are possible for Berean, which has also planted new churches in past years. Contact John Gessner at john.gessner@ecm-inc.com or 952-846-2031.

Raymond â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rayâ&#x20AC;? W. Terwilliger Creative and Gentle Soul Ray completed his life journey on Feb. 18, 2017, surrounded by family and loved ones. Born Sept. 1, 1924, in Parker, SD, he was the third of four children of James H. and Emma Terwilliger. Raymond married the love of his life, Georgia D. Wiedenman, on Sept. 19, 1944, in San Diego, CA, while he was serving with the U.S. Navy. At an early age, Ray learned how to repair and build almost anything, and after his father died in 1937, he worked odd jobs and hired out as a farm laborer to help support the family. Following the end of WWII, Georgia and Ray farmed for several years in South Dakota, then resettled in Minnesota in 1953, later building the family home near Savage. He worked for 27 years at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, where he quickly rose in rank from building maintenance staff to Building Superintendent, a position he held until his retirement in 1982. His creative craftsmanship and impeccable work ethic were widely recognized and his skills were sought out for many especially challenging custom design projects. In 1982, he partnered with his son, Scott, in the founding of Sunray Wood Products, Inc. (later Sunray Custom Cabinets and Furniture). Rayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talents, curiosity, and keen eye for design kept him creating art works well into his 90s. After his retirement, Ray spent his remaining years doing what mattered most â&#x20AC;&#x201C; spending time with family, and immersing himself in his many creative pursuits, including iron work, sculpture, woodcarving, macrame, jewelry, stained glass, and designing and building scale models of boats, tractors and trucks. He was a master problem-solver and loved the challenge of designing and building the perfect solution to most any problem. He was an artist and crafts-person and we are blessed to be surrounded by his many pieces of art. He was the quintessential partner, father, grandfather and great grandfather. His greatest joy was time spent with family and he relished every opportunity to do so. Ray and Georgia enjoyed countless days of sailing on Lake Pepin, VKDULQJ DGYHQWXUHV ZLWK IDPLO\ DQG IULHQGV DERDUG ÂżUVW WKH Georgie Girl, then the Keokia, for nearly 20 years. They traveled throughout the U.S., and enjoyed many trips to the Hawaiian Islands to spend time with Charlene and her family. Although he enjoyed exploring the quiet corners of the world, he was most at home in his shop or on his sailboat. He will be remembered for his quiet strength, his inquisitive, creative mind, and his calm and caring presence. He has been a gift to his family, his friends, and to the world, and he will be sorely missed. He is at peace, and continues to bless our world with his spirit and his legacy. Predeceased by his wife, Georgia; his parents; and siblings, Doreen (Howard) Hanson and James (Jean) Terwilliger. Survived by his brother Gordon (Lieselotte) Terwilliger. He will be sorely missed by his children, Charlene (Cal) Hoe, Pamela (Sonny Haas) Terwilliger, and Scott (Peg) Terwilliger. He was immensely proud of his grandchildren Kala (Kapua) Hoe, Liko (Hoku) Hoe, Kawai (Kaiuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;lani Murphy) Hoe, Brian (John Leaderbrand) Martodam, Craig (Sara) Martodam, Shana (Jeff) Schmidt, Alisa (Jim Carter) Martodam, Kelly (Matt) Davis, Kristofer (Ashley) Terwilliger, and Nikolas (Anthea Young) Terwilliger; and great grandchildren Kahiwa and Maile Emma Hoe, Ola and Ulu Hoe, Keenan Walker, Marla, Avery, and unborn baby Schmidt, Bailey, Blake, Brayden and Chase Davis, Kinsley Terwilliger, and Austin and Jade Terwilliger. A memorial service and celebration of Rayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be Friday, July 21, 2017, 2-7 p.m., at Cleary Lake Regional Park Pavilion, Prior Lake. Memorials preferred to the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association or the charity of your choice.

Violinist Mary Edwards was among the 15 students from Burnsville-based Minnesota Valley Conservatory of Music who performed Feb. 18 at the American Girl store in the Mall of America. The students were asked to perform there to mark the release of American Girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new doll Tenny, who is a musician. To thank them for playing, the store gave each of the students a Tenny doll. Minnesota Valley Conservatory of Music offers private and group music instruction for people of all ages; more information about the school is at www.mnvconservatory.com.

SPEECH, from 1A municate their ideas has been the most rewarding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my absolute favorite thing to watch a student from ninth grade grow and advance in confidence and achieve things they never would have imagined,â&#x20AC;? Anker said. One of those students, Noah Harstad, learned a lot about his strengths and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helped him find new ways to get his point across. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone through a bunch of categories before finding the right one,â&#x20AC;? Harstad said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like how each speech is different.â&#x20AC;? Sometimes those communication barriers include the language. Tram Nguyen moved to Eagan from Vietnam six years ago. She says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been expressive, but it was a challenge because English is not her first language. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was shy about it,â&#x20AC;? Nguyen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People made fun of my accent. I still have an accent, but it makes me who I am, so I embrace it. And speech

Joas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have some ongoing medical things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to deal with the rest of my life, but all things considered Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty lucky. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still some physical rebuilding of strength and mobility, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m working at it.â&#x20AC;? While the hit-and-run happened while he was on the bike, Joas has no qualms about getting back on. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already been back on his bike for short rides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels pretty comfortable to ride a bike,â&#x20AC;? Joas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not as fast as I was when I got hit. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve raced since I was 18. I went on a lot of group rides and long trips. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always good to get out an push yourself like anyone would. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been part

The individual driving the vehicle who hit Joas still hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been identified. A reward was offered for information leading to the identification of the driver who hit Joas in Eureka Township on March 8, 2016, on 250th Street West just west of Highview Avenue. Witnesses described the vehicle as a silver or light-colored truck with loud exhaust. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had any vindictive motive trying to find the person,â&#x20AC;? Joas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more focused on passing the next physical test Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gone back. Even if they found the person, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not
really going to help me individually.â&#x20AC;? One thing he wishes he could do was donate blood, but he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t right now. He said he never expected to need as much blood as he did during his recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It opened my eyes,â&#x20AC;? Joas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of all the procedures I had and talented doctors that helped me, if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have blood, they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been able to do any work.â&#x20AC;? So if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing people could do to support Joas, it would be to donate blood. His place of employment, MHC Software, is holding a blood drive on the anniversary of the crash 1-7 p.m. March 8 at 12000 Portland Ave. in Burnsville. To make an appoint-
ment to donate, use the Red Cross Blood Donor App and use sponsor code JoasStrongBV, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767). According to the Red Cross, a patient in the U.S. needs a blood transfusion ever two seconds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give to this blood drive, try to find one that you can, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to,â&#x20AC;? Joas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest support you can give to accident victims. I expect there are other people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t envision they would need it. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a family member or a stranger who needs it next.â&#x20AC;? The blood collected March 8 may help many types of patients including accident and trauma vic-
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much you get to learn,â&#x20AC;? student Rylee Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do a ton of research every week on current events. Every week I speak on something different.â&#x20AC;? The speech team brings students from every corner of the hallways at Eagan High School. Whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the lacrosse team or theater groups, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one big family of more than 100 students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an accepting group,â&#x20AC;? student Cameron Marsh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all get along really well. We all treat each other as family. We pride ourselves on having class and good sportsmanship.â&#x20AC;? Anker admits she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how well theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do this year at the Section 3AA tournament March 23 or the National Speech and Debate Association qualifiers March 10. They have a good team as a whole, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still room for improvement, she said. The students expressed that Anker feels they can do better and they hope their experience finishing
second a few times will lift them up. Although, they admit, Minnesota has some pretty tough competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky to be in a state where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so competitive,â&#x20AC;? Bechard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes us strive to be better, but we also get to see some really great speeches during competitions.â&#x20AC;? To see the nationally recognized program in action outside of competition, members of the public are invited to a showcase of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Magic Moments,â&#x20AC;? scheduled for 7 p.m. April 4 at Eagan High School auditorium, where several national finalists will be performing their original pieces. It gives their friends a chance to see how they spend their Saturdays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They get to see what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about,â&#x20AC;? Filonowich said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;? More information can be found at www.eaganspeech.org.
tims, cancer patients, organ transplant recipients, premature babies and patients with blood diseases, such as leukemia, sickle cell disease and more. All blood types are needed, but Type O negative and Type AB plasma are always particularly welcome because when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no time to determine a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood type, emergency personnel reach for those types because they can be given to a patient with any blood type. A blood donor card or driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license or two other forms of identification are required at checkin. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in gener-
ally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood donors can now save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, prior to arriving at the blood drive. To get started and learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/ RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site.
